Revelation 18:6

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Addressed to the executioners of God's wrath.

Reward - `repay.'

She rewarded. The English Version adds "you;" but 'Aleph (') A B C, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, omit it. She had not rewarded the world-power for some injury which it inflicted on her, but had given it that which was its due-namely, spiritual delusions-because it did not like to retain God in its knowledge; her principle was [populus vult decipi, et decipiatur], 'the people like to be deceived, so let them be deceived.'

Double - of sorrow. Contrast the double of joy which Jerusalem shall receive for past suffering (; ): even as she received double punishment for her sins ().

Unto her. So Syriac, Coptic, Andreas; 'Aleph (') A B C omit. In the cup - (; ; .)

Filled - `mixed.'

Fill to her double - of the Lord's wrath.
